TO ALL WHOM-I1 MAY concnnm.

Be it known that I, U, B. WADDLE, of Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga, and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Feather-Renovators, & c.; and I do hereby declare that the following isa full'and complete description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which-*- Figure 1 is a side view of the renovator.

Figure 2 is a view of the end.

Figure 3, a longitudinal section..

Like letters refer to like parts in the views. p p A, fig. 1, is a cylindrical case mountedupon and, supported by the sides B. longitudinally through the centre of-this cylinder is projected a shaft, 0, fig. 3, from'which. project the arms D. The shaft and arms are made to revolve by the gearing and crank E attached-to the end of the cylinder, by means of the bracket E. On the opposite end' of the shaft is a balance-wheel, H. Across the upper side of the cylinder is arranged a series of steampipes, I, fig. 3, the position'of which is indicated by the dotted lines a, fig. 2. Steam is conducted into this arrangement of pipes through thepipe J, and also into the cylinder, through the pipe K, by'means of the short induction-pipes L. Y

A, for the purpose and in the manner as set forth.

The practical operation of this machine is as follows, viz: The feathers are thrown into the cylinder through the door M, which is then closed by the cover N, fig. I, and made first by the hook O. Steam generated by any appropriate means is then inducted, through the pipes L, into the cylinder, among the feathers, which are thenstirred and shook up, by the revolving arms 1), until thoroughly steamed, the condensed steam and dirt passing of through the conductorsP, arranged along the bottom of the ,case, a screen, Q,being placed over it to keep back the feathers, which, on being properly and sufiiciently treated, the steam is then shut oil from thecylinder, and the feathersdried by tossing them up against and between the pipes I, heated by the steam shut ofi from the cylinder. By'this means they are quickly and thoroughly dried, and are then removed through a small door, R, on the opposite lower side of the case. I

What I claim as my improvement, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. The drying-pipes 1, arranged within a stationary cylinder or case, A, in combination with the arms D and shaft C, when operated in the manner as and for the purpose set forth.

. 2. The steam-pipes K L, conductor P, provided .with a screen, Q, as arranged in combination ivith the case U. B. WADDLE.
